Additional info:
I've been modeling in Blender since about 2015, but more recently in the past couple of years. I've been making games and assets in Unity since 2011, and I'm currently working on a multiplayer RTS game called Line War.
I use a Sony FX3 camera with a Sony FE 2.8/24-70mm GM lens. My main microphone is now the Shure SM7B, and I use a Rode NTG3 shotgun mic if I need it to be out of view. I downgraded to a Focusrite Solo from my wonderful RME Fireface UFX II that I had to sell when I moved from Sweden.
Thanks a lot for watching and sharing my videos :)

Learning Unreal! Would love to work along side you! This weekend I was able to make my own car and made it move! Simple but an amazing feeling after banging my head against the Unreal wall for days 😂

@Imphenzia Год назад

Nice job!! I have had brief looks at Unreal a few times before, but never had the time/determination to really see if I can learn it. It took a few days of frustration not knowing where things are, but I am starting to get familiar with the concepts, the settings, the materials now and it's snowballing and starts to make sense. I still have not done any game-play stuff yet, mostly getting assets and materials in, but I am excited to finally be getting into it! Keep at it, and I wish you the best of luck :)

Can you showcase how you created your whole scene in unreal engine. I want to see the whole process 😊

@Imphenzia Год назад

I would like to try that. It's difficult to package it in a shorter video - a lot of editing goes into trying to condense it. I wonder if I should do a live stream over a few hours to redo the scene from scratch. It would archive the live stream too for future watching.

Amazing tutorial❤.Are you switching to Unreal?

@Enryo- Год назад

How did you make the tree sway, thats so cool !! amazing !!

@Imphenzia Год назад

In the material, I use the World Position Offset of the material and I use a Sine and Cos nodes driven by time and a noise texture to make the vertices move back and forth in the X and Y axis. To make them sway more at the top compared to the bottom of the tree, I multiply the strength by the vertical Z-component of the vertex position of the tree. I will likely cover this in a video soon.

@MagicPixel Год назад

Me again. You should make a tutorial on how you set up the whole scene in this tutorial, with the lights, water, camera and objects. It should be pretty basic, which would be a great intro for Unreal.

@Imphenzia Год назад

Thanks, I will try to do that!

@SenTrickss Год назад

there is an addon that allows you to export directly to unreal, pipeline by epic game, it works well and fast once you figure it out, so you cound potentilly add importing to unreal within the 10 min.

Low poly looks amazing in unreal! can unreal work with blend files like unity can as well? or is exporting the only option?

@Imphenzia Год назад

FBX is preferred for both Unity and Unreal. I noticed that Unity does not accept .Blend files in the asset store for example - not sure why though. I know Unreal Engine also has a blender plugin/tool that bridges the workflow between the two, but I haven't tried it yet.

@MagicPixel Год назад

Hey, @Imphenzia! What are you using to learn Unreal Engine? Whenever I tried it seemed a bit overwhelming, starting with the giant download 😅 Also very time-consuming and I don't have that kind of free time 🙄

@Imphenzia Год назад

I have started to have a brief look at it a few times in the past, but now I got a Udemy course on sale, UE5 C++, it is 54 hours long, but I am only 2 hours in to it yet and I now alter it with importing my own assets to try to test out things I've done in Unity in the past. I like taking small steps learning on my own most of the time, e.g. trying to create a material that I made in Unity in the past to get it to work in UE.

@unknownchannel6797 4 месяца назад

What's the material you used?

@Reykoil Год назад

Hi Imphenzia! Why did you decide to try Unreal Engine? What differences are important to you in relation to Unity?

@Imphenzia Год назад

Hi, I've been wanting to be able to use both Unity and UE to cover more of the differences and help people out through my channel. I also sell game assets and I want to ensure that they work well in both engines. Lastly, the performance and visuals of UE feel superior out of the box, whereas I feel Unity is better for wider platform support, easier programming, and more suitable for games that do not conform to a traditional FPS or 3rd person game. Hopefully I can share a more detailed explenation when I learn a bit more.

@AwfulDecisions Год назад

uhh yesssss am i first??? Love you imphenza :D

@johannes4510 Год назад

Hello Imphenzia will you make a tutorial on modeling, rigging, and animating characters with different weapons in Blender. For example making a character swing a sword?

@Imphenzia Год назад

I can try. Single-handed animations are easier because you can just parent the sword to one of the hands and animate it. Two-handed weapons are trickier because you need to do IK for the arms to get good animations and switching between FK and IK for arms is painful still I think.

@johannes4510 Год назад

@@Imphenzia Ok. I think you make good tutorials but maybe you are lacking a bit when it comes to animations. However, I am unsure how deep I should go into becoming a proficient animator as a solo game developer. Perhaps most solo developers make a few simpler animations themselves and for more advanced animations they turn to places like Mixamo. You could even fully rely on ready-made animations and possibly just modify them a bit if necessary

@Imphenzia Год назад

@@johannes4510 for 2-handed weapons I have better success animating IK in the game engine, sor with Unity I use the Animation-rigging package and record animations in the animation keyframe window, and you can also drive animations with world interaction. If you look in my channel history for Ultranova, you can see 2-handed in-game animation with a rifle. I will be going that route for UE too instead of animating the weapons in Blender I think.

@indianastilts Год назад

Such a fun video to watch. Thank you. Do you recommend Unity or Unreal? Can't unity populate all that grass, trees and more. Seen unity projects have much more in their scenes then this but sounded like you're saying unity can't?

@Imphenzia Год назад

Glad you like it! Both Unity and Unreal are fantastic so it'll come down to preference and which workflow that suits best for a project. So far (this might change) I recommend Unity for: Wider range of cross-platform projects, mobile games, games that require a lot of custom programming (we're making a RTS with a lot of complicated procedural generation and AI, and I would not know how to do that in UE). I would recommend Unreal Engine if you want beautiful performant graphics on PCs and consoles with minimum amount of worry about rendering pipelines, external packages, or performance for open-world-type of games. You can do very detailed grass,tree, nature scenes in Unity too, but when I've tried it - there is a lot more work and going into setting things up. There seems to be ready-to-go components in UE to get the procedural grass, water, swaying grass, etc. to work well and you just drag in super-detailed objects with millions of polygons in UE and the engine optimizes it in runtime - I have not had that experience in Unity.

@indianastilts Год назад

@Imphenzia wow what an amazingly detailed response. Thank you very much. As always your videos are just amazing, detailed and fun to watch. Never give up on your dreams and videos as they are just soo good and inspiring to so many. One more question. Have you done a video on unity vs unreal. Maybe after you have done more in UE you should do a compare vs video. There are alot out there that get loads of views. I bet yours would get alot and sure you would give good feedback on both

@mikedolan03 Год назад

Yay Unreal! Lets port Space for Unity to Unreal now.... may have to rename it I guess. 🤔

@Imphenzia Год назад

Fab, the new Unreal market place replacement (merging Artstation, Sketchfab, Marketplace) is coming so maybe it would be worth updating both the Unity version (to support all render pipelines) and make an UE version of it. Good idea!

Instead of Scale the face down to Zero and Install the Plugin, cant you Just Scale the face to Just 0.01or slightly bigger? But besides that, thank you for your Work and the effort to understand your unreal fellows better

@Imphenzia Год назад

Hi, yes, you can do that - it's just that I do a lot of stuff with shortcuts and pressing S0 is faster than pressing S0.001 - especially when you do it maybe 100 times for a single model sometimes. But it definitely works of course!

@danchovy1111 Год назад

What’s your process for learning unreal?

@Imphenzia Год назад

I just started with a UE5 C++ Udemy course to get started, and I aim to complete that (it's 54 hours long, and I am only 2 hours in) - but when I've learned a few things, I tend to create my own project and bring my own assets in and learn from there. I try to replicate some of the things I've done (or been wanting to do in Unity) in the scene in this video and I take small steps at a time to connect the dots. At first, I felt totally lost, and now I feel that I am picking up the speed as I go along.

@danchovy1111 Год назад

@@Imphenzia seems like a solid plan! I have been debating between unreal and unity for a little over a year now. I still do not know which to go with. I enjoy both, but do not know which to commit to. Any suggestions for me? I would really appreciate any advice.

When importing a model into Unreal, you must always rename the Armature, to anything else as the models will always come out tiny.

@BainesMkII 11 месяцев назад

I haven't messed with Unreal in a while, but in the past it felt like Epic just bodged together quick and dirty surface level "fixes" for Blender import issues. It could get annoying as Epic always seemed to miss something. The last time I did mess with UE, they'd finally gotten it to automatically scale a rigged model, but were still using the "wrong" scale when deciding how many colliders were necessary for the automatic physics/collision creation, and it borked the scale for imported sockets. (Heck, an Epic guy responding to me didn't even realize Unreal allowed you to import sockets.)

@bbn777 Год назад

Finally you discovered (one of the reasons) why scaling UVs to 0 is a bad idea. Please dig a bit into that more and you'll discover why having very small circle with most of the UV space cramped in there is bad idea as well.

@Imphenzia Год назад

The way I see it: Pros: Super-fast workflow, quick way to colorize faces of models, you can have a texture that is super small, e.g. 8x8 pixels for 64 colors - and memory bandwidth is therefore never an issue Cons: Does not support shadow mapping (but Unity generates shadowmap UVs with the tick of a box), and breaking all flat-shaded UVs into their own faces duplicates all the verts for the GPU Shadow-mapping is not an issue for me because I do the stuff "simple" enough to always have realtime shadows. And of course pixel density is not an issue with a small UV islands since don't have any details at all to try to maximize the pixel use.
